First appointment with Peri

I had my very first appointment with the Peri yesterday. The appointment went okay. When he was doing the measuring, he said Baby B has some markers that he doesn't like. He didn't say exactly what the markers were. So I got a FT screen. They took a shit load of blood that lasted 10 long minutes. After that I stood up and almost fainted so we had to wait there a while before we left. Also either my RE measured baby B wrong or the baby got smaller but he (i think it's a boy) was moving and swimming around like crazy.Baby A - 11.5wks 152bpmBaby B - 8wks 148bpmBaby C - 12.5wks 165bpmHe said I'll have the results back within a week and then depending on the results he was to discuss CVS because the FT screen is not a diagnostic test.I also have 25% more fluid in C's sac.Yesterday I took a day away from the house (since he took me off modified bed rest and pelvic restriction).My cervix is nice and long and thick and no funneling. It's at 5.1However I have to eat more... total of 5000 calories a day :shock: I am going to be so fat hahaha and drink at least a 2 gallons of water a day. I hate water as it is LOLI got a new prescription for my m/s. I still have to stay on the progesterone suppositories 4 times a day.

Oh my thats a lot to takein at one appointment, but I guess thats the joys of having 3 babies! How exciting that Baby b is super active! lol Thats going to be one kid that breaks all the rules! And have fun with the 5000 calories a day thing.. I dont know how your going to do it without eating fast food 24/7!! Aas for the water, I like to drink it with some propel packets (like crystal light). Good luck!
